[QUOTE="ianstaley, post: 149314, member: 2989"] I had two in quick succession, well three really, the first was given to me by my Dad, I was 16 and just got my first provisional licence. On a learners licence you could ride any bike up to a maximum of 250cc, or a 650 as a side-car outfit. No passengers unless the rear passenger had a full riders licence. So the first was this below.... A Mobilette 49CC heap of brown stuff that smells bad. [ATTACH type="full" alt="mobylette_1967.jpg"]11362._xfImport[/ATTACH] That was swiftly followed by what I considered at least a nod to a real bike... My Yamaha 55cc Scoterette. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Yamaha 55cc.jpg"]11363._xfImport[/ATTACH] That in turn was sold to make way for my very first real Bike, On that you had to swing a leg over..... My First Honda a CB160. [ATTACH type="full" alt="cb160_6.jpg"]11364._xfImport[/ATTACH] I had that for about 6 months when I went real up market I bought my Honda CB250 Dream [ATTACH type="full" alt="cb250 dream.jpg"]11365._xfImport[/ATTACH] Although this one is gold, mine was the same but in Red. These were all been given and got within a year. I had the Dream when I got married and managed to drop the bike doing 5Mph going down a slow hill at night when it was snowing, my wife was 3 months pregnant at the time, she never went on the back of one of my bikes again.
